Simple, fun activity ideas for children, from newborn to five.

Chat, play, read!

Here are some tips and activities to help your child develop their speech skills:

use things your child is interested in for play, follow their lead and make sure you're physically at their level while playing

if you notice your child looking or pointing at something, talk to them about it before they lose interest in it

picture books introduce your child to new things they haven't seen yet in real life - ask them to tell you the story, or talk about what the characters might be thinking and feeling

make reading, singing and playing even more fun by using lots of actions and different voices

take turns to make noises or speak - your child will be able to hold longer conversations, so slow down your speech, give them plenty of time to respond and listen carefully to what they have to say

talk to your child in short, simple sentences, as it's easier for them to understand you and have a go at copying when they are ready

try to use the same book or sing the same song, as young children learn a lot from repetition

If any of you get a chance to visit Longford Park , they have a new tree trail for you to follow.... and there might be a few fairies on the way !

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
01 . Sycamore Start the trail in front of the café. The tree is in its grounds by the benches. Sycamores are well known for their helicopter seeds. One tree can produce more than 10,000 winged seeds.

02. Horse Chestnut From the café, walk towards Pets' Corner and look next to the bike racks. Horse chestnut trees are well known for their seeds, conkers, enclosed in spiky green cases in autumn.

03. Cherry Walk right along the path. This tree is on the right just past the children's playground. It looks beautiful in spring with a profusion of pink flowers. The flowers, leaves and fruits are important food sources for birds, bees and moths. The bark has horizontal marks like small cuts.

04. Hornbeam Walk straight ahead on the grass, parallel to the main drive. This tree stands proudly on its own, with its distinctive upward shooting branches. The name hornbeam comes from the hardness of its timber. In Old English, 'horn' means hard and 'beam' means tree.

05. Red Oak Go across the main drive towards the tennis courts and look for the tree with its own information board. Have a read to discover more.

06. English Oak Carry straight on but veering slightly to the left. The English oak is our most common native tree and supports a vast array of wild life. One tree can support over 280 kinds of insect!

07. Lime Head towards the little wall, where the paths meet. This tree is on the right hand corner. Lime trees often form grand avenues in parks. Look out for the heart shaped leaves. Moths, caterpillars and aphids love them! Lime trees have masses of sucker growth at the base of the trunk.

08. Dawn Redwood Go straight ahead through the gates into the ornamental gardens and you'll find this fast-growing large tree on your left with the beautiful twisted scaly reddish-brown bark. This conifer is deciduous. It was originally thought to be extinct until the 1940s but was discovered in a remote valley in China.

09. Gingko Biloba Carry on just past the island and look to the right hand side. This is the oldest living tree species and dates back to around 220 million years ago. It survived the global extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs! Sometimes called a maidenhair tree, it has beautiful fan-shaped leaves.

10. Scots Pine Carry on along and take the lefthand path at the fork. Look out for the pine on your right. Scots pine is the only truly native pine in the UK and is widely planted for timber. The leaves are needle-like and grow in pairs on the branches. If a Scots pine dies, then its skeleton can remain standing for 50-100 years before falling due to its high resin content.

Learning to read with phonics

If you live in England, your child will learn to read using phonics. Their school is very likely to use either the Letters and Sounds phonics framework or the Read Write Inc. programme. Check with your school if you're not sure which one they use.

Using Letters and Sounds?

If your child is using Letters and Sounds, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Letters and Sounds Phase' filter to select the right Phase. Bear in mind the following:

If you don't know your child's Phase, you can check with your school. As a guide, most Reception children will be on Phases 1-4 and most Year 1 children will be on Phases 4-5. Beyond Phase 5, your child will be able to decode most books.

In Letters and Sounds, there are 'sets' within the Phases - so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase.

Some series contain occasional 'tricky words' that your child can't decode using phonics. Use the inside front cover notes to teach your child these words before they start the book.

Find out more about Letters and Sounds >

Using Read Write Inc. Phonics?
If your child is being taught to read using the Read Write Inc. programme, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Read Write Inc.' filter to select the right level.

We recommend children read each eBook three times, as they would at school: once to read the words correctly, a second time with more fluency, and a third time in a 'storyteller voice' that shows their understanding of the story.

Find more support and resources for Read Write Inc. in our parents' guide to Read Write Inc. >

How many of these superhero acts of kindness can you do?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Even little kids can perform acts of kindness! It can seem overwhelming to come up with kindness ideas and projects that are meaningful for little kids - especially ones that they can actually do. Combine small acts of kindness with pretend play and let your kids be kindness superheroes.

Acts of Kindness for Kids

Spreading kindness can be as simple as brightening someone else's day. For our Toddler Approved's 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge, we focused on being kind in our daily interactions. Here are 10 simple acts of kindness to start you off:

bringing scones to an injured neighbor

being kind to books by re-shelving them at home

placing books left out by others at our library on the re-shelving cart

picking up items dropped by others

holding the door open for others

write happy notes and tape them to cans of food to donate

helping a neighbor carry her sled to the hill

making more thank you cards to public servants

make breakfast in a bag for a local food bank

leave birdseed out for hungry birds

More ways for kids to give back

Making Your Kindness Cape

Making the cape was easy. I used an old pink t-shirt, and cut out a cape for the boys. Then i decorated it using fabric paint. We decided to use hearts in my 5 year old's favorite colors (orange and green). Rather than drawing freehand, I used heart stencils to apply the fabric paint.

My favorite kindness superhero moment? When my 18 month old, unprompted, said "Bless You" to his great-grandmother when she sneezed! It was the first time he said that phrase, and it was so cute!

How about you? Will your kids be Kindness Superheroes? Masks are optional.
